FEBRUARY Is WEIRD FICTION

January had been Vintage Science Fiction Month, and lovely it was to rediscover John W. Campbell and Andre Norton.
I wanted to somehow continue the vintage theme on my own, so I determined to make February Weird Fiction Month,
with an emphasis on (but not exclusively) Vintage Weird Fiction. So as I finish my Kindle read, and audio listen, of Dan Simmons' incredible novel of the 19th century Franklin Arctic Expedition, THE TERROR, I hope to delve into:

THE HORROR STORIES OF ROBERT E. HOWARD
Clark Ashton Smith
Fritz Leiber
And others
And of course my icon, H. P. Lovecraft.

Starting the month, New Weird reads will be:

SEVEN BURIED HILL by Kristopher Rufty
BONE CHIMES by Kristopher Rufty
FURY OF THE ORCAS by Hunter Shea
WESTWARD TALLY HO by Milo James Fowler
HER MOURNING PORTAL AND OTHER PARANORMAL ODDITIES by John Brhel.
